[JDEV] MUC problems...

[David Sutton]

Hi Mats,

  I will look into these, however I need a little more information from
you. Can you show me the full xml sent and received when you are
changing room options. By the sounds of things, your request to change
the options is being ignored. Also, try running the jabberd MUC is
connected to in debug mode (-D command line switch). There will be clues
in the output from there too.

  Regarding the error message (point 3). I know that MU-Conference
breaks the specifications in this respect, however this is for a reason.
The MUC protocol allows you to send multiple item requests in a single
query. Imagine the situation where you send 4 items, but three of them
are incorrect in different ways (i.e. trying to kick a non-existant
user, demote a room owner, etc) With the current schema, you only have
room for one error message, despite there being 3 different errors. I've
already brought this up with Peter Saint-Andre and he is looking into
it. The whole error system needs an overhaul anyway as it needs both
the jep and the implementation to use the new style error messages. As
soon as that is in place, I will rewrite MU-Conference to use them.

Regards.

  David
